Juno - Battleground Europe

Meer over het boek

By June 1944, Juno Beach was a key part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall, with four major strong points along its length. German pillboxes were positioned to sweep the beaches with machine gun fire and were surrounded by belts of barbed wire and mines. Leading the attack were the 3rd Canadian Division, supported by the specialist assault tanks of the 79th Armoured Division. Despite careful planning, poor D-Day weather led to a piecemeal landing and heroic individual battles in the streets of the seaside towns.
